Activity 2
Color Range, pH Scale!
In this activity, you will use the results in Activity 1, Parts B and C, to determine the
pH of the solutions you tested. Use the following pH scale for eggplant indicator to
determine the pH of the common mixtures you tested in Activity 1. Present your
results in a table similar to Table 4.
The eggplant indicator shows the following color changes.

Table 4. pH of samples from Activity 1 Sample pH based on eggplant/camote indicator

Now that you are aware of the pH of some common mixtures, why do you think is it

important to know about pH? The following facts give you some information on how
pH affects processes in the body and in the environment, as well as in some products
you often use.
Importance of pH
pH and the Human Body
Acids and bases perform specific functions to balance the pH levels in the body.
When your body has too much carbon dioxide, the blood becomes too acidic. You breathe

slowly. Breathing is slowed to increase the pH in the blood. If pH in the body is too basic,
you will hyperventilate to lower the pH.
This acid and base control is an important part of biological homeostasis
(balance) in humans. In fact, human life is sustained only if the pH of our blood
and body tissues is within a small range near 7.4. Use of pH in Food Processing and Fruit
Preservation
During food processing, pH is closely followed. Changes in pH affect the growth of
microorganisms, which cause food spoilage. Most bacteria grow best at or near pH
7. To prevent the growth of harmful bacteria, pickling is an effective food preservation
method because it lowers pH. The control of pH is also needed in wine and jam
preparation. A few species of bacteria grow in a basic medium of pH 9-10. This is the pH
range of stale eggs. Most molds grow within the pH range of 2- 8.5. In acidic
conditions, many fruits and products made from fruits are easily attacked
by molds unless the fruits are properly protected.
Control of pH in Soil
The pH of soil is very important. Some plants grow well in acidic soil while others
prefer basic soil. Farmers need to know the pH of their soil since plants will only
grow in a narrow pH range. The pH also affects how much nutrients from the soil
become available to plants.Most plants in the Philippines grow in acidic soils. These
plants are banana, kaimito, durian, pineapple, soybean, coffee, eggplant, squash,
kamote, and rice. Other plants like grapes and pechay require basic soils. Some
plants grow best in almost neutral soil like orange, peanut, watermelon, beans,
cabbage, tomato, corn garlic, and onion. pH of Rainwater The average pH of rain is 5.6.
This slightly acidic pH is due to the presence of carbon dioxide in the air. In many
areas of the world, rainwater is much more acidic, sometimes reaching pH 3 or even lower
Rain with a pH below 5.6 is called “acid rain.” The acidic pollutants in the air that come
from the burning of fuels used in power plants, factories, and vehicles produce gases
which are acidic. These gases enter the atmosphere and dissolve in water vapor in the
air. Some acid rain is due to natural pollutants like those from volcanic eruptions and
lightning.
Maintaining pH of Personal Care Products
Most personal care products have pH kept at specific levels to avoid harmful effects
on the body. This is true for hair products. For example, at pH 12, hair already dissolves,
that is why hair removers usually have pH of 11.5 to12. Most shampoos are within the
pH range of 4 to 6. This is because the pH of the product must be compatible
with that of the hair, which is in the range pH 4 to 5. Hair is least swollen and is
strongest at this pH range. But very often, using shampoo leaves the hair basic. So, in
order to avoid eye irritation and stinging, shampoos for infants and children have
a pH similar to that of tears (pH 7.4).Hair has a protective covering called sebum. The
use of conditioners after using shampoo puts back this oily coating and penetrates
the hair shaft itself.
You may look up other references to learn more about the importance of knowing
about pH. Now that you have discussed with your teacher the importance of keeping
the proper pH in the human body, in food processing and food preservation, in
farming and in personal care products, it is also essential that you know the effects
of acids on some common metals. An important property of acids is their tendency
to react with certain metals. At higher grade levels, you will learn that the nature of the
metal determines how it is affected by specific types of acid. However, in this grade
level, you will simply investigate the effect of an acid on a common metal like iron.
Effect of an Acidic Mixture on Metal
What do you think will happen when an acid and a metal come in contact with
each other? What happens after the metal has been in contact with the acid for some time?
What changes take place?
In Activity 3, you will investigate the effect of an acid on a common metal like
iron. In Module 1, you have learned that vinegar is about 5% acetic acid. You will be
using vinegar in this investigation since it is safe to handle and easily available. Vinegar
will simply be an example that can show the action of an acidic solution when it comes
in contact with a metal.
